Acaden Lewis, who used to be committed to Kentucky, just visited Georgia and has now set up a trip to Miami this week.

Lewis first pledged to Kentucky on November 2nd after visiting the campus on October 11th. He later decided to back out of that commitment on April 10th, with Miami being a top contender in his recruitment, along with the Georgia Bulldogs and a few other schools.

Lewis, stands at 6-feet-2, is ranked as the 30th best player in the nation and the 5th best point guard, making...

There is this article from a dubious site that had him committing to the Canes last week. A quick review of the site confirms multiple other bogus commit stories (i.e. 5* athlete commits to Vols and 5* athlete commits to the Canes but never names either recruit).

But still, how did they even hear rumors that he was visiting?

From 24/7

Lewis is a lefty lead guard who is extremely talented with the ball. He has soft hands and natural touch that are the foundation of a very advanced skill-set. His handle is tight, he’s a lay-up maker with both hands, and he has soft floaters and tough pull-ups alike in the mid-range area. While Lewis connected on just 31% of his threes during EYBL play, he’s a much better shooter than those numbers indicate. He made 83% of his free-throws, attempted nearly 7 threes per game, and projects as someone who not only has gravity spotting up but can be a movement shooter as well.

In total, there isn’t much Lewis can’t do with the ball in his hands, but the area where he’s shown the most growth is in becoming a true lead guard and making those around him better. He still has a high-volume approach with the ball in his hands, and is generally more focused on throwing assists than he is otherwise moving the ball, but his floor vision and delivery both impressed this year as he finished in the top three in the EYBL in assists. He’s a threat coming off screens, both on and off the ball, but has a tendency to stand and watch without the ball in his hands unless it’s a pre-determined action.

Physically, Lewis is naturally leaner and not the 6-foot-3 that is sometimes listed (his last official measurement was 6’0.5 without shoes in the summer before his junior year), but does have long arms to compensate. He’s also older for his grade, having turned 19 in October, and that extra year of high school has really helped him to hold his own physically and be capable of absorbing more contact than he was a year ago. Defensively, he has the hands to be a playmaker and is also a good rebounding guard, but isn’t always able to sustain disciplined and consistent effort on that end of the floor.

Pete seemed a little giddy referencing texts he received regarding Acaden in the latest podcast. Maybe there’s something amiss
